HOMEMADE TACO SAUCE
MAKES 1 CUP
I never planned to create my own taco sauce recipe, but I was making tacos and realized that I didn't have any sauce. I figured it couldn't be very difficult to duplicate and it wasn't. I will never again buy a commercial sauce. The amount of seasonings you use are totally to taste. Start with less and add more. Keep in mind that, unlike commercial products with preservatives, this will only last in the refrigerator for about 5 days, so don't make more than you need unless you freeze it. The amount given here is appropriate for most taco meals or to add to dips.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 can (8 ounces) unseasoned tomato sauce, preferably no-salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Cayenne pepper or hot sauce to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Let set for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve with Beef Tacos or add to Mexican-style dips and salads.
